David CookEvil is unspectacular and always human, and shares our bed and eats at our own table.
– W. H. Auden
On the day he was arrested, accused of murdering, dismembering and then eating the body of a 36-year-old woman, Gregory Scott Hale was discovered by police doing something rather unremarkable. Something almost peaceful.
He was napping.
Coffee County, Tenn., police found him asleep on the couch, ever so casually, as if he’d just cut the grass.
